But when I try to create an online meeting in Outlook 2016, I got an error message saying that I have to log in at Skype for Business first. Thank you for your post. I understand you are creating a Skype for Business meeting in Outlook 2016 for Mac. Amend or cancel a meeting / room booking using Outlook. Science & Technology.
In Outlook (both for Windows and for Mac), the default behavior is to automatically respond with tentative to meetings requests, which results in meetings automatically added to the calendar. I receive a lot of meeting requests, and only need to attend a few of them (which I manually accept), so I'm not interested in all those meetings requests cluttering my calendar.
Is it possible in Outlook for Mac to prevent meetings automatically being added to the calendar? I found I thread on how to do it in Outlook for Windows:, but wasn't able to configure it in the Mac version. I'm using Outlook for Mac 2011, Version 14.3.2. This actually isn't client-side (that is, Outlook) setting. This is a server setting on Exchange. Depending on how your Exchange server is configured, this might or might not be a setting that you are allowed to change. If you are allowed to change it, you can do so via Outlook Web App.
The instructions that I'm giving here are for Exchange 2013. Click the 'Settings' gear (upper right corner), then select 'Options'. In the left navigation pane, select 'Settings', and then select 'calendar' in the main pane. Scroll down until you see 'automatic processing'.
If you can change this setting, you'll see a tick box titled 'Automatically place new meeting requests on my calendar, marked Tentative'. Untick that box. Click save, and then exit the settings. Earlier versions of Exchange also allow this, although the path to it is slightly different depending on which version of Exchange you're in. They should all be in the calendar settings, you might have to poke around to find the exact location in your version of Exchange.
No, I believe the add-in got removed for a while but now it's back and still has the same problem, 'This add-in caused Outlook to start slowly.' It was even in the release notes this time: Fun with Outlook: Teams will now integrate with Outlook in new and interesting ways thanks to the Outlook plug in. When you head to your Outlook calendar, you'll see a button labeled New Teams Meeting. Click on it, and you'll be able to schedule a Teams meeting from Outlook.
You'll also have the ability to update, cancel, or forward Teams meetings from Outlook. All your meetings in Teams will show up in your Outlook calendar (and vice versa), and you'll be able to join your meeting from either app.
(As of right now, the Outlook plugin is only available for Windows users. But don't worry! Support for Mac is coming soon.) Edit; Gone again after restarting Outlook.
